Blooming Lovely Sofa


Looking like the petals of a deconstructed flower, the Fiore collection of patio furniture from B-alance is a modular set of sofas, coffee tables and footstools. The elegantly curved pieces call to mind the balance of yin and yang as they perfectly fit together.


The Asian-inspired collection features dark rattan frames and plush white cushions, again reinforcing the theme of balance. Artful curves allow the pieces to snuggle up to one another, creating all kinds of creative configurations.


A sofa plus a teardrop shaped footstool, a pair of sofas back-to-back with a couple of coffee tables, a large grouping of all three types of pieces – every arrangement is an individual work of functional art.


The set draws a certain amount of inspiration from the cherry blossom: that well-loved symbol of life and renewal. The delicate, graceful shapes combined into a small, intimate setting or put together in a large conversation circle would bring style and sophistication to any patio or deck.

SULTANAS TABLES


From a manufacturing process simpler inspired forms used on construction sites, a little nod to the excellent "Sultanas Tables", pretty tables and coffee tables with a foot literally cast in concrete.





CALIFORNIA ROLL HOUSE


Christopher Daniel in ViolentVolumes , a special mention for the very interesting "California Roll House", a beautiful concept of prefabricated house of the future that would have the particularity to be assembled and disassembled quickly. Designed for harsh environments or dry, it is also equipped with a structure for reflecting the sun's heat for excellent thermal balance inside. All details in the future!





Paper Moon Lamp


From incredibly simple and requiring very little material for rendering more successful, a very big favorite for "Paper Moon Lamp", an excellent small suspension performed using an electrical wire, d a clothes peg, a bulb mounted on a sleeve and a sheet of paper.
